Governance

IAM concepts
Governance sets the policies and controls for who has access, why they have it and whether that access remains appropriate over time.

Granularity

Security concepts
Granularity refers to the level of detail and precision an access control system can apply when defining permissions. A granular access model allows organizations to specify exactly which identities, human or nonhuman, can perform which actions on which resources, under which conditions.

Generative AI

AI/MCP Concepts
Generative AI refers to systems that can create new content, such as text, images, code, or audio, based on patterns learned from large datasets. Unlike traditional predictive AI that classifies or forecasts, generative AI produces original outputs in response to prompts or contextual inputs.

Group Policy

A feature used in IAM systems, especially in Active Directory environments, to manage and configure the settings of user and machine identities across an organization.
